Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote parking control methods do not adequately restrict vehicle movement by autonomous driving during pallet movement in mechanical multistory parking lots, leading to potential unsafe operations.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle departure control method that confirms vehicle departure from a mechanical multistory parking lot, determines if the vehicle is being moved, and prohibits autonomous driving until the vehicle reaches the departure preparation position.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the vehicle is moved by autonomous driving during pallet movement in mechanical multistory parking lot, then the operator can perform remote operations, but the safety of the operation cannot be ensured due to potential conflicting movements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote operation capabilityVSAvoidoperation safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary anti-action by detecting when the vehicle is being moved by pallet movement and proactively prohibiting autonomous driving before conflicting movements can occur. The control unit receives movement information and preemptively disables autonomous driving functionality, preventing potential safety issues rather than reacting to them after they arise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring vehicle movement status through information from the mechanical multistory parking lot and using this feedback to dynamically control autonomous driving permission. When movement is detected, the system feedback-loops to prohibit autonomous driving; when movement stops, autonomous driving permission is restored.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If autonomous driving is permitted during pallet movement, then remote parking functionality is available, but the vehicle may move inappropriately based on inaccurate remote operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote parking functionalityVSAvoidremote operation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system prevents inaccurate remote operation effects by prohibiting autonomous driving before the operator attempts remote control during pallet movement. This preliminary restriction ensures that even if the operator sends movement commands, the vehicle cannot execute autonomous driving actions that would create conflicting or inaccurate movements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

3Reliability

If the vehicle is prohibited from autonomous driving during pallet movement, then operation safety is ensured, but the remote parking operation time is extended

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation safetyVSAvoiddeparture operation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dynamics by making the autonomous driving permission state dynamic rather than static. The permission to perform autonomous driving changes automatically based on real-time pallet movement status - prohibited during movement, permitted when stationary. This dynamic control optimizes the balance between safety and operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from movement detection to dynamically adjust autonomous driving permission. When the control unit receives information that the vehicle is being moved, it prohibits autonomous driving; when movement stops, permission is restored. This feedback mechanism ensures safety during critical periods while minimizing time loss during safe periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A vehicle departure control method by remote parking performed by a user operating a terminal device, the step of confirming that the delivery is a delivery from the mechanical multistory parking lot, a step of determining whether the vehicle to be delivered is moved in the mechanical multistory parking lot, when it is determined that the vehicle is moved, or when it is determined that the vehicle is not in the delivery preparation position, including a step of prohibiting the movement of the vehicle by the automatic driving of the remote parking.
